December Favourites

So it’s been a while since my last blog post, but I delivered my baby girl on the 10th of October and to say that life has been CRAZY since then would be an understatement. I mean, 2 kids under 2 – enough said! As much as I feel grateful and blessed, I terribly miss ‘me’ time. I try to find 10 minutes a day to wear makeup and a couple more to take my #MOTD pictures just to stay in the zone…

The DAFNIhas been a lifesaver these past couple of months. When I do find time to wash my hair, and I don’t have an extra 25 minutes to blow dry it, I just let it air dry and go over it with the DAFNI later!

My sister is a die-hard fan of Argan Oil, but I had never ventured into it’s realm until I found a ‘buy 2 get 1 free’ offer at a pharmacy on Melvita products. I have to say I had never heard of the brand before, but a quick google search convinced me to try the Melvita Argain Oil. So glad I did, it was love at first use! It defrizzes the hair quickly, and its effect lasts for days!

You guys know by now that the Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer has been in my arsenal for quite sometime now. It never fails to hide this tired mama’s under-eye darkness, so I have probably used it every single time I wore makeup since my delivery…

Also, my usually combination-to-oily skin has been feeling quite dry lately and has got me reaching out for more hydrating foundations and base products. To make sure they stay in place, I have been setting my face with the Lumene Skin Perfector Mineral Powder. I purchased it on a whim a while ago in Lebanon and never really got around to using it till now. WOW! It keeps the foundation in place and is very light on the skin and pocket!

And if you want to know what winters should smell like, have a whiff of Maison Margiela By the Fireplace…

What have been your recent favorites? Let me know in the comments below!

I’d be interested to see if they bring out something like the hair straightening brush except for curls… I have the most straight, boring hair and would love to be able to brush my hair into bouncy curls
